Hey Guys
Windows Server is a brand name for server operating systems released by Microsoft Corporation.
This name has been used in many software like,
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008
Windows Home Server etc.

Camoe - try the share \\Server-pc\f$ with the dollar sign instead and ensure that NTFS and share (if applicable) permissions have correct access levels granted

Which DNS server is each device looking at ??

Windows 7 (and Vista) have most of the simple file sharing turned off by default.

Follow the steps in that and you'll be sorted

Now you're on the right track. If it's being shared out make sure you have rights to the folder. This means either entering the details of an account created on the domain/server when it prompts, or giving the "everyone" groups permissions to modify

When prompted for the username and password, type an account and password that resides on the target machine

i think thats the problem, i have no password or seperate account, the username is Server-pc, No password. why would i need one its on LAN?

brainchylde · 19 Apr 2010 at 20:13

I notice you are using Windows 7. Go to Network and Sharing Centre->Advanced Settings and then you need to alter the setting - "Turn off password protected sharing"

You still need to authenticate. It's a totally different machine. Imagine if someone else plugged into your network and could access all the private documents on your server, or, if someone hacks your wireless and does the same thing.

@brainchylde, Done that mate... and how can i authenticate with no credentials?

You do have credentials, you just said the username is "server-pc" with no password.
